About Us

We provided over 2500 safe bednights to victims this year.

Women Are Safe, Inc. began in 1987 as a volunteer effort to provide shelter and safety to victims of domestic violence in Hickman County, Tennessee. Today, we have eight volunteer board members, an Executive Director, a Program Assistant and four advocates dedicated to our mission of serving the immediate needs of domestic violence victims in five rural Tennessee counties.

75% of our shelter occupants are children.

Each year we serve hundreds of victims through our core services: a 24-hour confidential crisis line; safe, temporary shelter; court advocacy; transportation; education about the dynamics of domestic violence; support groups; referrals to community resources; and advocacy.

Domestic abuse hurts kids too.

You Can Help.

Please donate to Women Are Safe because the victims who come to us are vulnerable and they need a safe place with support from expert counselors and advocates.

Your donation will be used to provide shelter to domestic abuse victims in Dickson, Hickman, Humphreys, Lewis and Perry Counties, as well as to maintain our Community Education and Outreach.
